Master Critic Review
Taqueria St. Marks Place
8.4
A high-traffic East Village taqueria that still turns out consistently solid burritos with properly seasoned meats and punchy salsas. The vibe is busy and casual, but the kitchen keeps pace, especially with carnitas and al pastor. Great for a fast, dependable burrito a block from Tompkins Square.
Must-Try Dishes:
Al Pastor Burrito, Carnitas Burrito, Lengua Burrito
